I downloaded the latest version of Xcode to each of my two machines. The
download was xcode31_2199_developerdvd.dmg for Xcode 3.1 (or maybe 3.1.1).
When I click on XcodeTools.mpkg, I get the message
Open Failed. Couldn't open "XcodeTools.mpkg".
This happens on both my Intel laptop and on my G4 PCC, both running MacOsX
10.4.11.
Although this is not directly a MacPorts problem, it does seem to be a
problem for MacPorts, because MacPorts depend on Xcode's gcc working
correctly.

Any suggestions as to another forum where I might take this up?
Thanks
David
